Looks good. If you get it post up and tell us how it is. It's tempting, when I order my clutch I'll probably get one

Well, you can bet it'll be a lot higher by the time the bidding comes to an end.

Do you really need it? That should be your first question.

It is a buy it now from a ebay store. They have tons of them. Yes I really need it, mine has stress cracks in it and I dont think turning it will work. My rear main went bad and has been leaking oil on my clutch for sometime. I have decided to just replace the whole thing. There is black spots on the pressure palte. I will post up some pics.

Well, the seller seems to have a good rep. Might as well go for it.
